Desko Penta: Automatic identity document authentication solution
The Penta scanner cover can be lifted to more easily scan larger documents, such as passports.
The Penta works with a large variety of different document types
The PENTA is designed for authenticating identification documents. Specifically, it is designed to automatically identify and authenticate ID-1, ID-2, and ID-3 documents, which are international (ICAO) standard-sized ID documents. ID-1 documents are driver license-sized; examples include drivers’ licenses, state ID cards, military ID’s, Green cards, voter registration cards, diplomatic cards, passport cards. ID-2 documents are slightly larger than ID-1 documents; examples include visas and the French identity card. ID-3 documents are even larger than ID-2 documents; passport booklets are the most commonly used ID-3 document.
The PENTA is designed to optimally perform in well-lit environments where space is limited.
We currently have a mobile ID Authentication solution, PALIDIN.M.
The PENTA scanner is part of a hardware/software platform that captures high-resolution, full color images of ID documents using natural, ultraviolet and infrared sources. The device also “reads” information from barcodes, smart-chips, RFID chips and digital watermarks.
After the PENTA captures the images and the data, the PALIDIN™ software application performs multiple security checks using a comprehensive database of ID documents. Multiple points on the document are checked to make certain that proper manufacturing technique was used, and that the document itself contains the proper design elements. The data captured from different locations on the document are cross-checked to make sure that information such as name, birth date, issue date, expiration date, etc. all match.
When the application is finished, it will display either a “pass” or “fail” grade.
Data and images captured from the ID document may be treated by the user. The PALIDIN™ Software Development Kit enables customization of the data management, including potential exporting of the data to third-party databases and core enterprise applications.
